Friday Favorites – White Hydrangeas

Friday Favorites – White Hydrangeas

  Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite flower! But not every color carries equal weight. For me, it’s the white ones. I know people love the blue, but the white are what make my heart skip a beat! I usually have white hydrangeas in a pitcher in the kitchen on a weekly basis when I can find them, and we have them in both our front and backyards.       Luckily for me, I have a Trader Joe’s close to my home as they carry them almost year round. And that’s another thing about them; they look good anytime of year! They look spring-y and fresh in the spring and summer months (especially the white ones that are tinged with green), but they also look amazing in the winter. I love them mixed with pine and berries at Christmas! And they look great in any container; from an old crusty urn or bucket, to a crystal vase or a white pitcher (my personal favorite!) They’re versatile and so long lasting – another one of their many wonderful traits!  
Love them in a simple vase. Design by Linda McDougald.

Simply stunning! Via Atelier de Campagne.

Wishing you have a lovely weekend! I’m off to the garden store to buy some new white hydrangeas to add to the front beds and to TJ’s to get some for the kitchen counter…..

Coffee Talk

Coffee Talk

Today coffee table styling is on my mind. I’m one of those people who once I start thinking about something (design-wise, anyway… or clothing-wise :)) I become a little obsessed. I was literally up until after midnight the last few nights looking online and at pins on Pinterest for interesting ways to style a coffee table. I recently purchase a new one and it’s twice the size of the old one so I’m feeling like I want to add a little bit. I don’t like them too full (and the hubby usually doesn’t like too many things “in his way”) but I don’t like a big empty table either. My new table is a full 48″ x 48″ so that’s a pretty big space if there is nothing on it. There are a few things I noticed that were consistent in the tables I liked: read more

For the Love of Stripes

For the Love of Stripes

Stripes… I love them. In all shapes, sizes, colors. I can’t get enough. I have always loved them, but I have to say, Pinterest has renewed my interest of late. There is no shortage of amazing outfits on Pinterest in which stripes play a part. They can be very “Parisian” looking, thin stripes of black and white with adorable, skinny capri pants or they can be patriotic if they are red and white (or navy and white) and are worn with the opposite color, or they look especially great when paired with a pop of color in the shoe and a blazer or denim jacket. They are basic. They are classic. And they never go out of style!  For the love of stripes here are some inspiration pins (I think you will see what I am talking about)….. read more

Friday Favorites – Preserved Boxwood

Friday Favorites – Preserved Boxwood

Something I was recently turned onto is preserved boxwood topiaries. These are not the plastic, fake topiaries that don’t look real, oh no, these are hand made from real boxwood plants and are specially treated to retain their deep green color. They even have a faint hay-like smell that makes them seem more natural than just a plastic topiary. I have only had two fake (plastic) topiaries in my life and I had recently thrown them out, vowing to go only “real” from now on. read more

Friday Favorites – Chanel Jewelry Love

Friday Favorites – Chanel Jewelry Love

Vintage jewelry is so beautiful and something I have always loved.  And though I have a fair amount of vintage chains, some lockets and old watch fobs, only recently did I discover the beauty of vintage Chanel jewelry, in particular. After seeing some in an antique jewelry store in Santa Barbara a couple of years ago, I have been oohing and aahing over photos of Chanel jewelry on Pinterest ever since! Though I love both the necklaces and the bracelets, it is the bracelets that have really captured my heart! read more

Lemon Drop

Lemon Drop

First, let me start with saying that I never wear yellow, well that is, until now. It all started with this jacket that I saw at Zara

I’m sorry, the back is just so cute!

Then, yesterday when I was doing my mannequin for the Neiman Marcus event, I chose this skirt (couldn’t resist!) read more
